Almost 40 new centres have been created in Sandwell for people to report hate crime.

Sandwell Council and the police have set up the premises to make it easier for Borough residents to report incidents. Council leaders and the police say they have a 'zero-tolerance approach' to hate crime and will 'put victims first.'

The centres in West Bromwich are: Accord, Kaleidoscope at Hawthorn House, Sandwell African Caribbean Mental Health Foundation at Kuumba Centre, Sandwell College Central Campus and Sandwell Deaf Community Association. Other locations are in Rowley Regis, Tipton, Oldbury and Smethwick.

Please call in to the Reception at the Accord offices at 178 Birmingham Road, West Bromwich to report incidents of hate crime.
